Quarterback Sam Darnold has agreed on a three-year, $110.5 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Monday.
The person, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because teams can't sign free agents until Wednesday, said $55 million of the contract is guaranteed.
Darnold had his best season with the Minnesota Vikings in 2024, leading them to 14 wins. He replaces Geno Smith, who was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders last week.
Darnold, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2018 draft by the Jets, thrived under AP Coach of the Year Kevin O'Connell's guidance.
